If you want to protect your iPad Mini you're going to want to get a case, so why not get an officially licensed Lego one? Not only will it protect your mini tablet, but you can customise it with Lego too, thanks to the base plate built into it. Write your name, creat a funky pattern – use your imagination. Or let your kids do the work for you.

Transform your iPad Mini into a bona-fide laptop alternative with this Bluetooth keyboard cover which serves up tactile physical keys for when you have to put down Angry Birds and actually do some work on the newly free iWork apps. Close it up and it protects the screen - a helpful bonus.

Ultimate Ears Boom speaker (£170)

This Bluetooth speaker might look like a fancy elongated can of coke (or a cylinder, if you're not into fizzy drinks), but don't be fooled – it packs a mighty punch, especially given its proportions, has a 'plasma' coating for water resistance (apparently it can be drenched in honey without getting damaged, although that sounds like a waste of good honey to us) and a 15-hour rechargeable battery.

AKG K451 (£60)

These headphones punch well above their price tag. Thay're also as portable as the iPad Mini itself, making them rock-solid commuter headphones. Their sound quality defies their price, with clear detail and punchy bass. Just add the BBC iPlayer and Netflix apps for commuting happiness.
